ITT: 11/10 Cases

The only good case. Fuck your fancy shit cases.

The only things that matters for a pc case is
>Sturdy
>Inexpensive
>cable management.
>Fit all parts correctly
>Good airflow
Any 90's - current year case will do the job if it fits these criteria.

Nice airflow you fucking faggot

i remember some guro manga about alive human's organs suspended in the air like that

Only matters when you have a fucking shitty overpowered, overheating pile of goddamn shit PC for MAHGRAFX Yea Forumsgame-loving idiots.

Take the mid-range pill, and legitimately don't be leery of secondhand GPUs if they're in good condition. 8GB VRAM RX580 only ran me $100 on eBay even though I'm pretty sure it was used for crypto mining before this to be that low at the time.

I respect it, but I personally think the H700 looks better. I am a little bit jealous of the vanity bracket however, even if my video card won't fit in it very well.

Would be kino a f especially if you had usb compat paddle inputs to play virtual pinball with on your pc

What did he mean by this?

That looks a lot like my case and if it is you don’t have a choice but for it to end up like that

I have one that looks like that, but it doesn't have the gay ass lights, it just have a faint yellow light inside, it glows blue when on.

What the fuck happened to removable motherboard trays? They skimp on that shit, but add fucking front fan rainbow brite? DURRRR

The was the first thing that came to my mind.

Also, for no real reason whatsoever I ask my wife once a week if she has seen Freddy Got Fingered and her answer is always "no, I don't like Tom Green"

It does though. You see the small grate and the bottom-front of the case? (it's also on the other side), there's a fan behind it on the inside. It also happens to be next to the HDD bays.

My absolute nigga I love that thing. More cases should have solid carry handles and inbuilt cable management systems.

Antec Titan in 2005. Compared to modern cases it's garbage but compared to Office beige garbage it was a revelation. It's really sad to know how much Antec dropped the ball in the early 2010's. They were usually the choice of case for anything other than Lian-Li lovers.

I would agree with you, but it turns out that a lot of the cases that have been improved to be easier to open (hinged side panels, quick releases, side screws) are also the ones with windows.

I don't need to see into my PC, but I'll be damned if I'm fighting with rails to slide my heavy ass side panel back on again with this new build. FUck that.,

>what is the walmart case

Pretty hard to fuck up provided you take per-cautionary measures like canceling out any static your body has stored so you don't zap your parts. Check out BitWit's PC Building guide on YouTube, I followed his guide and came out okay. The hardest part for me was getting the damn cooler on. Just remember not to pay full-price for Windows and to grab some key online, even eBay works.

nigga just look at youtube videos. its basically like legos.

>paying for windows at all
>paying for illegitimate keys
y i k e s

Putting the parts together is actually quite easy, the thing you got to be the most careful about is making sure your motherboard isn't broken on arrival. I had to send one back for a replacement because the connector pins for the CPU were bent.

>paying for windows
everyone laugh at this nigger

you mean CPU power?

>paying to pirate

thanks, im not lying Windows prices in computer stores seemed pretty high and was looking for something alternate, didnt think of just buying a key

so what's the alternative?

theres a ton of PC building videos on youtube.
even the videos where they are using shitty parts are still helpful because you still follow the same basic steps.

Well top and bottom. because of the feet

it idles at 34c but I probably buy a front intake fan

Attached: pdp_c9e6ed04b5d1b066.png (700x700, 171K)

Parts to buy:
Motherboard
GPU
CPU
Thermal Paste (if CPU doesn't come with it)
Aftermarket cooler (if CPU doesn't come with one)
Power supply
Case
Memory
Monitor (if you don't already have one)

Things to do:
Put CPU in Motherboard
Apply Thermal Paste onto CPU and then install cooler onto Motherboard
Plug in cooler fan into Motherboard
(Install Aftermarket cooler if you bought one)
Put Motherboard in Case
Put PSU in Case
Put Memory in Motherboard
Put GPU in Motherboard
Plug PSU cables in Motherboard, Case, and GPU
Plug Case cables into Motherboard
Plug Monitor cable into GPU

And you're done. It may seem intimidating but any faulty parts can be RMA'd (usually the memory), and if you take it slow and watch a video, you can't fuck up. Good luck user.

you pirate
you don't just buy a key from some ebay scammer selling it for a couple of bucks, either you pirate or you pay the full price that microsoft wants

Then what do you think is good then?

no build comes without a rear plate and it is by far the easiest thing to forget, and a major bitch to fix

posting before installing further than the CPU is a massive time saver to make sure your PC is actually going to work before you try putting it all together

>The hardest part for me was getting the damn cooler on
Let me guess, put the motherboard on the motherboard box?

That works fine until you need to put on the cpu heatsink. That usually requires a ton of pressure, especially if it has spring screws. That pressure will bend the box and make it a pain in the ass to mount.

What you should do is take everything out of the box and assemble it inside the empty box. That way you have a sturdy surface.

Someone post that webm of the computer that uses a key and a bunch of switches to turn on.

If you already have windows 7 or 8, you can just reuse that key as well. I'm surprised how this still isn't common knowledge at this point.

Higher airflow means you can turn your fan curves down and have a quieter PC. No need for silencing cases if you can run all your system fans at 25%.

Come at me

Attached: 1537833979331.jpg (652x768, 145K)

Literally any over $60 has one. And ones cheaper than that you don't want to buy for any system that isn't an extreme budget build. Cheaping out on the mobo, like the PSU, is a recipe for frying your more expensive parts.

People's understanding of it is a fucking meme. Big empty cases are fucking terrible. The goal is ultimately higher airspeed through the case. It's why consoles and laptops can survive with few and tiny fans because they are mostly filled and can have high airspeed over everything.

Having high airspeed through larger, slower turning fans gives you an optimally cool and silent case.

Quintessentially American case.

Quieter than water cooling with the same performance and the only trade-off is the cooler size and ease of installation. Who cares what it looks like

I do believe cases should be functional by containing the space, ports and cooling options for your needs. They're not for looks. They're to be hidden under the desk or behind the screen, and the computer should prove its worth by its performance rather than its flashy looks.
This is my case, it's been casing for me since 2012.

anyway they aren't even the best for aircooling, and in terms of performance actually somewhat overpriced, because of that brand recognition

tl;dr noctua isn't based

>White in the outside but black on the inside
A most perfect analogy for you

last one doesn't have rgb it's just a light

I kinda like my view 37
Fuck rgb in general, as I got rid of the rgb fans in the front and replaced them with 200mm fans and omitted the rgb controllers as my motherboard doesn't support it and put a water cooling system instead

They don't even need it for brand recognition anymore. They are just solid coolers by themselves. They don't need more than that.

How is that any different from the Raven cases they've been selling for close to a decade, except with more glass and RGB?

Fucking love this case. Its clean, straight to the point and lots of space to work with.

It has 3x high quality 200mm fans. The amount of air flowing through that case is 5-10x higher than whatever you're using - and that's when it's on idle

Cooling isn't a linear function of air flow though. Every additional cubic foot per minute will do less for thermals than the last one, and very soon you'll hit the point of negligible benefits. I'm not saying my case air flow is great, but an RGB Raven isn't gonna accomplish something that older Ravens haven't long accomplished.

I think I have the Deep Silence 3. It's alright and definitely delivers on the silence, but thermals aren't good at all.

Frankly I think the upright ATX form factor is obsolete in terms of cooling. None of the geometry makes any sense for uninterrupted air flow without dead corners and heat pockets.

Yes, the fact that it has far more airflow than any other case.

That's exactly what I've been saying, Raven cases have accomplished this sort of cooling for many years, and making the fans slightly bigger and RGB isn't going to make a mentionworthy difference.

200mm fans have much higher airflow than 180mm fans. Study the geometry of a circle and realize that the surface area of a 200mm one is a lot higher than the surface area of a 180mm one.

how do you deal with dust?

The surface is a bit larger, but in return the fan speed must be lower to maintain the same blade edge velocity and therefore the same noise level.

Also 200mm fans still have no common screw spacing standard and are a pain to find matching replacements for if you ever need to.

Must be an older model because no clear side/front fan
